5 foods to avoid this monsoon

Monsoon can be incredibly beautiful but on the other hand one needs to Be safe and healthy in this weather of germs and viruses by avoiding the risks. Here’s a list of 5 food items to avoid this monsoon.

Pouring rain comes along with the appetite for lip smacking
and hot delicacies. But, it carries a wave of harmful and infectious germs too.
The moisture in the air during monsoon season works as a medium for the
spreading of diseases. And it is rightly said that better to be safe than
sorry, so here is a list of 5 foods to avoid during monsoon season.

1.Street food: Tasty Pani puri, Bhel puri and Dahi puri
sure are a sight for sore eyes during a monsoon shower but we suggest that you
completely avoid eating these delicacies during monsoon. It is obvious that the
roadside vendors are never as hygienic and clean as we’d like them to be and
that means the food isunhealthy and
most likely to make you prone to diseases like jaundice and diarrhoea.

2.Golas and lollies:
Golas and Lollies are a strict NO. They may look harmless to you but the water
used in the preparation of these delicious sweets might be dirty and
contaminated.

3.Fish and other Sea food: aaaaah! Fried fish and sea food
soup gives us the taste of heaven on earth. But, avoid this insanely mouth
watering food until the monsoon ends. Yes! I know it’s sad but that’s just how
it is. Since monsoon is the breeding season for these creatures, fresh catch is
scarce. Consuming sea food at this time of the year might put you in a bad
situation health-wise.

4.Green leafy vegetables: Monsoon is a good excuse to avoid
green leafy vegetables, since they are grown in swamps and reach the customers
in an unhygienic form. So it’s a win-win situation for some of us, yeah?
*winks* But, if it is a necessity make sure you wash and clean these vegetables
thoroughly before cooking.

5.Fried Food: As the temperature gets lower due to the cold
moisture in the air, our urge to get ourselves a cup of hot coffee and a plate
of pakoras rise steeply. But the high humidity during rainy season makes us
more prone to water borne diseases. Also salty food has a tendency to cause
water retention.

Bottom note: Best way to fulfil your appetite in the monsoon
season is to cook tasty food at home. Avoid eating out from the streets vendors
and keep yourself hydrated with clean and distilled water.
